The "indicator dog" is a specialized hunting dog that hunts with a sense of smell. When it perceives its prey in hiding, it will remain still on the hunting route and adopt a strange "instruction" posture: the head is lowered, the neck is extended forward, the tail is stiff and straight in a horizontal position behind it, one of its front feet is raised in mid-air (as if stunned), and the whole body stands stiffly, like a dog statue. Indicates that the dog will maintain this position for a long time. Only a slight tremor or flutter (especially the tail) reveals extreme excitement and tight movements.
It has been claimed that an instruction dog once maintained this position for several hours. However, in normal hunting conditions, when the prey escapes from shelter and instructs the dog's human companion to shoot at the prey, its posture spell is immediately broken: it is thus released from its indicator point and resumes the task of olfactory tracking again.
Sometimes there are two indicator dogs in a team. If there is only one, it can only indicate the direction of the prey by indicating the angle of the point, but the distance cannot be indicated. If there are two indicator dogs, pointing out the question from different directions - when the prey is prey, it can provide the hunter with coordinates, indicate the direction and distance, and pinpoint the exact location of the unfortunate victim.
Instructing dogs to behave in hunting may seem rather unnatural, but this is not the case. When the wolf first sniffs its prey, the lead wolf will stand still on its path and point stiffly in the direction of the smell. The other members would do it with the flies and try to catch the smell. There will be a pause until all the wolves are watching the direction of the smell before the next stage of the hunt begins. The wolf's pause is precisely the indicator of the dog's movements. The only strange thing about the dog example is the way the dog extends the "hold still" time. The place where the variety is specialized is to extend the time of this action, not the action that indicates the direction.
The "crouching hound" initially indicates prey in the same way as the indicator dog, the only difference being that they sit down when they smell hidden prey and stay pointed forward in the sitting position. The English Setter of the squat hound is the old-fashioned saying of the sit-down English Sitter.
Crouching Hounds borrow more actions from the wolf's ambush tactics than from their instructional moves. There is a stage in the wolf's hunting process, when a certain wolf will circle around the circle and then lie down to hide, waiting for the prey to be approached in its direction. The squat dog apparently "amplifies" the wolf as an element of the hunting process and becomes its breed characteristic.
Retrievers rush out after the hunter shoots the prey and brings the prey back to the human companion, which is also borrowed from the wolf hunt. Wild wolves will bring food back to their nests for she-wolf production, or to young wolves who are too young to participate in hunting. Generations of dog breeders have used this food-sharing instinct to breed modern hounds that selflessly help humans hunt for prey.
The most popular dog game, the tree branch or ball that the dog throws out, also stems from the action of bringing food back to the nest.
